Imagine that you could write a
spiritual best seller. The book you would
write is called, "HOW TO TALK TO GOD AND GET AN ANSWER"

It would be a metaphysical self help book for
people stuck in the rut, spinning in their own busy-busy version of a hamster
treadmill, wanting to do moreexciting, spiritual,
fulfilling things, wishing to get out of the
box when the 24 hours of your day are already terribly filled.

Take a moment and ponder what rules might be in
such a book. I had a few thoughts, if you had others, would you share them
with me? I will incorporate them in the final article and send it back
to you to keep.

1) Don't just STAND THERE DOING SOMETHING. DO
NOTHING!Live in neutral gear,
in the Nirvana gear, out on the astral plane a little more than you do
because that's how one stands with one foot in heaven. This makes it
easier for God to notice you. There are a
lot of fascinating, wise, loving, interesting people in heaven that
God is hanging with; his house guests are all in permanent bliss. Why should
he look down at a tempest pot like you? The only Earth person he enjoys
watching areblissed out,
meditative seekers of truth or 'found it already' types who are busy solving
earthly problems for others down here.
Why? Because they're family. They are a chip off the old block, just like
Dad. They're good sons and daughters to Dad. They are in the MIRACLE trade.
They are literal miracle workers. They aren't absorbed in time wasters
or busy-busy-ness. They are feeling, cogitating, pondering and digesting
what they see in others or what others have confided or revealed to them
to solve their life problems. If gurus (literally, dispellers of darkness,)
were involved in MAYA pursuits, romance, money, gossip, opining,
they would be too busy to DO nothing. Their light would be too occluded.
So GURUS? Do less. Go inward. And don't go into your head just to sort
through your own psychic garbage can of ancient grievances. Avoid the ego
with its offended vanity and craving to be perfect and stop looking at
your own psychic muck at all costs. One moment of self censure, a frownie
day/hour or minute is a bring down. If you see something wrong, store the
photograph in your back pocket. Polish the penny so it reflects the sunlight.
(Meaning work on the state of body/brain.) That can take the form of eating
foods that give energy and avoiding your favorite snacks that predictably
ROB energy. Sugar, stimulants, heavy toxic meats in the same meal as alkaline
digestion starches. Incompatible combinations that tire the body out and
age it.

2.) ALL ENERGIZED? Now, SET ABOUT SEEING WHAT
NEEDS DOING and DOING MIRACLES.
If you're
going to act, let it be to do God's work of forwarding the action, evolving
the people and 'games' that people play on this planet. Miracle working
is what people with surplus energy do. They can talk crazy people off ledges,
talk compulsives off their desires, argue with death-directed, thanatos
embracing
people. Frequently these are very wonderful souls who just got bruised
in life, and now have skewed interests: romance, money. (The stuff that
doesn't matter yet often most engages bruised minds. In these self medicating
refuges they seek morphine surcease from the pain of their own, personal
variety of bruise.) So the next thing is.....

3.) BECOME A PEOPLE PERSON.
Discuss their lives in detail so that you turn them around. Set up a dharmic
profession for yourself where you get to talk to people. Also set up parties
where people play mind technology games. Games that liberate. You will
see that the desirous stuck frustrated ones will ease up on their compulsion
to attain romance or money. The fearful timorous, bruised ones start to
recognize that they, too, are miracle workers and don't have to nurse their
wounds, wake up with fear gnawing at their cut each day or play with these
counterfeit coins, (romance and money) but that they can find the real
gold of being miracle workers who forward the action.

4.) Build the golden
bridge to heaven.
You can't just sit in your room near the telephone and dream that God is
going to call you. Space out and CALL HIM! There are ways to get off the
mobius time loop of Starbucks, cokes, caffeine, and the eternal -beat-to-the-clock-PULSE
of the mind. Meditation and Yoga slow the breath and diminish the hold
of the mind. When you can slide slightly OUT of your mind, you can watch
a waterfall, and float free of the sight to the point where you see shimmering,
pulsing energy. You can stare into a friend's face and see angels and demons
rise and fall, surge and disappear and see all the thoughts and personas
and finally the real soul beneath. You can look into their eyes and see
joy or pain, see soul bruises. Try that now, focus on that person you're
sitting across from, in your next encounter with a friendly human. Sit
eating a fruit rather than thinkie, chatty, talky coffee.

5.) Eliminate the time wasters and energy stealers,
everything from chocolate binges to arguing and yelling, to worrying about
other people's lives and endlessly addicted to running their minds, habits
and days. Edit out neurotic mind trips, vanity, wishing to be rich or beautiful,
ergo erotic. Delete your fave, sensorial pursuit which steals time from
spiritual work whether the vice is prime time t.v. celebrity bios and gossip not to mention dvd's and movies,
video games or mall patrol shopping expeditions, or texting, facebooking, yammering on the phone to chums,
addiction to 'opining', defending your opinions, discussing, arguing, thinking
about your opinions. Eliminate all of it as these things will tear a
big, blank space in your day. They are what Charlie Sheen
calls a "soul-sucking waste of time!"

6.) Avoid the TRAPS OF THE GURU. Many gurus
convince themselves they have the answers and set up big audiences at costly
meeting groups where they charge money and where they unconsciously seek
adulation, romance, stardom and even fame. (80% of our mind is UNCONSCIOUS,
only 20% is conscious, so they don't even know they're doing it.)
They are thirsting for Maya: romance and money and the great Civil War
era Hindu guru Ramakrishna warned that THESE were the two vices of mankind.
When a guru goes in this direction, you can smell it on their breath.Luckily
only fools sign up with them and they deserve one another. So familiarize
yourself with these vices beforehand so if one pops up in FRONT of you,
you can run or if it pops up inside you, you gotta
flyswatter handy and a quick wrist, knock it dead!

7) Do all the above YOU will ACHIEVE MASTERY!
YOU ARE A FRIEND to TIME
NO longer ITS SLAVE. You have enabled
yourself to live in the clock-free zone, this timeless moment of now, unpressured,
unhurried. Now you have some credit with the BIG GUY. You got a phone card
good for any amount of minutes, so you will want to direct short, heart-felt,
non frivolous questions to the Supreme Father. It says in the Bible, 'ask
and it shall be given unto you, ' so
ask. (NOTE: It
helps to direct one kindly birthday wish to the big guy. What worked for
me as an introduction phone call was 'Sir, I hope and pray that you are
happy with us and amused by us and pleased and are having a good time."
That was when the whammy from nowhere hit.

When God talks back, he will do it with a lightning bolt of love. Electric
joy whammies you actual heart. It is like being hit with ALL THE ROMANCE AND LOVE and
AFFECTION that you ever felt in your life, but all at once so your heart chakra
lights up like a fountain of champagne at Versailles. God obviously uses
some kind of soul-soaring meta-energy like a lightning bolt. Get the light
and love whammy, you will know that you definitely made contact. Then,
from that point on, you can use your paid up phone card to phone him or
Occasionally he will talk to you out of nowhere with words, usually much
needed prophecies or dreams. If you do your homework, follow the three
basic steps, you now have a PHONE CARD. USE IT. And instantly your message
will be heard above, and you will get soul whammies of incredible joy that
flood you, which are stunning and the dreams and answers and all the goodies
which are called SIDDHIS. Powers. Gifts. And those will enable you to do
our miracle work even better.
